Has anybody here married someone from another race or religion?

Question

Was it a successful union? Are you still married? Have you separated or been divorced? Please share anything you would like from your own personal experience about this type of union.

Answer 1

8 years and counting, has it been easy hell no! his family is very racist. But we love each other and our kids so too bad for them we are happy!

He is puerto rican and i am black & german mix

Answer 2

Yes...we have a child together, and no it did not last. We met in high school and didn't want to think that two races couldn't get along in marriage like everyone in my town. Gee was I hard headed! The cultural differences were there. No ones fault. That is just how it is. I managed to stay with him 9.5 yrs. (5 married) and I was so miserable I didn't know what to do. I was too young and didn't even know what to look for in a long term relationship. Just a horny teenager and rebellious to the small country town I was raised in. I look back and see everything people said about mixed couples to be true. Just my opinion. If it works for others, great, but not me.
Just for the record, both of our families were fine with it. It was that we couldn't over see the differences???

Answer 3

that's a snigger how few actual Christians can answer this query. Or absolutely everyone who makes use of the "protecting the sanctity of marriage" line. it particularly is pathetic. they could't returned something up. Marriage existed an rather long term in the previous Christianity got here approximately. So what if it particularly is extra often than not purely been a guy and a woman? via implying that, they're asserting that no longer something ever adjustments. That blacks nonetheless should not be allowed to marry the two, by way of fact in accordance to the Bible, they're inferior. no longer my opinion, in simple terms what a great form of slave vendors might say. It has approximately as plenty reality as denying gays rights.

Answer 4

Getting married soon (in 2 months) with a man from a different race (I'm Asian, and he's a German) and have no problem so far, we work at the same company, and our family have no objection at all. Also about principle things in life, we share the same point of view, and have no problem.

Dated a man from a different religion AND race (although we are both Asian, I am Chinese decendent, and he is not) for six years, have problems with his parents (her mother hates me because of my race and religion), and then I gave up.

Answer 5

I am English and my partner is Muslim. He is fantastic but his family abroad are a nightmare, thankfully they are across too many miles of water, It wasn't easy we have been brought up very differently and the culture is hard to get used to, but after 5 years and children despite all the changes we have made to respect each others culture we are very happy and even his family couldn't ruin it and we are getting married next year (just will be a bit different having ceremony in mosque and registry office)

Answer 6

My husband and I are the same race but totally different religions, we are very happy together, 4 grown children and 6 grand babies, never separated or even thought about it. Being different gives us plenty to talk about, he's still learning things about the Catholic religion and I'm still learning about his, neither of us have given up our own way of worshiping and don't intend to. Our children know about both and were left to decide which they wanted to practice or go to a different one altogether. All that matters is we believe in the same God and each other.

Answer 7

My grandmother is Japanese. My grandfather is American. He met her while stationed in Japan during the Korean war. He walked into the bar, took one look at her and said "that is the woman I'm going to marry". They dated for only a couple weeks. They have three children and have been married for 54 happy years. It wasn't always easy, but love really can overcome all obstacles.

Answer 8

I married a Mexican man. We have been married for 10 years and we have two very well-behaved children. My husband is just as sweet as he was the day I met him. I am in red-neck country so it was hard on us at first with my family. When my dad met him the first time he slammed the door in his face. After getting to know my husband my dad loves him. They are inseparable. I sometimes get jealous about how much time they spend together fishing and hunting. My husband is my rock, my cheerleader, he validates me and he gives me his all. I don't know what I did so good to have him in my life. I thank God for him every day.

Answer 9

Yes.. I am currently divorced. I think one can make it work if you try. Race and Religion an be very difficult to overcome, but with love and ignoring the biggots out there you can do it.

Best of luck.

Answer 10

I am a woman about to 'get married' to my girlfriend. We have been in a comitted relationship for nearly three years and we're tying the knot in December. Too bad it's not legally recognized in our state, but we hope it will be some day. It's all about true love!

Answer 11

I am not married but i have been with my boyfriend who is hispanic (Salvadoran) for 3 years plus. I am Black by the way. I think the reason why we have been together for so long is because we have good chemistry and common interests.It has had its ups and downs. For one, he is very close to his family and he is a momma's boy. I can hardly communicate with his mom because of language barriers and his female relatives sometimes act like they own him. I have stayed with his family sometimes and they have warmed up to me more. there are alot of cultural differences but for the most part the way we feel about each other is worth it.
